wouldn't be a title without lance

yeah dude, where's the muumu's?! anywho, last night i was watching sportscenter on espn as i often do to find out about the outcome of the dodger game that day. one of the funny commercials that espn plays is where sportscenter analyst dan patrick is working in his office, when the power apparently fails. so there is a long shot of patrick walking down the hallway, down the stairs, and into the basement of the building, all the way to a door that would apparently be where generator might be, and there's lance armstrong on a stationary bicycle.
lance: "oh sorry dan, i thought everyone had left for the night."
dan: "you okay? you want an energy bar or something."
lance: "no, i'm good." (resumes pedaling)
i thought the commercial funny.

three cheers glen! we know you were stressing the test, but we all secretly knew that it was in the bag. i bribed mr. carver with rentals from blockbuster. always looking out for you i am.

the daily show w/ jon stewart has been hilarious coming from the democratic national convention this week. one of their field reporters said he filmed all of his reports ahead of time and left early since the convention was so scripted and boring. he made sure to do reports on a few possible exciting scenarios just in case, including a polar bear attacking the delegates from kansas, and hazardous quicksand discovered on the floor of the fleet center.

  1. Jon Stewart has been hilarious. It is worth the conventions just to have his cynical humor stimulated.

    Letterman did some funny stuff with Biff Henderson, the stage manager covering the convention.

    I am looking forward to his work with the RNC. Does this make me part of the 18-24 year-old demographic that gets most of its political news from comedy programs?

  2. Dr. Carver did write down my recommendation, influenced by you, the film/documentary "Fog of War." I will ask him what he thought of it. (If he's seen it yet.)
